Question

The fight, flight and fright hormone is
A. Glucagon
B. Insulin
C. Oxytocin
D. Adrenaline

Answer 1

Hint: The fight-or-flight response is also called acute stress response or the acute stress response. It may be a reflex that happens in response to a perceived harmful event, attack, or threat to survival.

Complete answer:
Adrenaline is generally produced by both the adrenal glands and a little number of neurons within the medulla, where it acts as a neurotransmitter involved in regulating visceral functions (e.g., respiration).
It plays a crucial role within the fight, flight and fright response by increasing blood flow to muscles, output of the guts, pupil dilation response and blood glucose level, by binding to alpha and beta receptors. It's found in many animals and a few single-celled organisms.

Additional information-
- The fight-flight-freeze response is our body’s natural reaction to danger.
- It’s a kind of stress response that helps you react to perceived threats, sort of like a growling dog.
- The response instantly causes hormonal and physiological changes. These changes allow you to act quickly so you'll protect yourself.
- It’s a survival instinct that our ancient ancestors developed a few years ago.
- Fight-flight-freeze isn’t a conscious decision. It’s an automatic reaction, so you can’t control it.

So, the right answer is ‘Adrenaline’.

Note: Adrenaline, also referred to as epinephrine. It's a hormone and drugs. The physiological changes, when fight or flight reactions are activated, provide the body increased strength and speed in anticipation of fighting or running.
